The Ohio State vs Michigan rivalry is one of the best in all sports, and each fanbase thinks about the other team 365 days a year.
Ohio State fans cross out the letter M over everything the week the two teams play each other in football, and Michigan fans don’t like to be seen wearing any scarlet at any time during the year.

Michigan is also a big-time rival of Michigan State, and even most Wolverine fans don’t own any green in their closets.
A new sign at Schembechler Hall in Michigan prohibits wearing red or green.
Michigan won’t allow red or green in its facilities due to the colors of Ohio State and Michigan State, but red and green are also the colors of Christmas, and fans of other teams took to social media to react to Michigan hating Christmas.
